The Amazon Luna controller is a decent game pad. It reminds me of the old Xbox 360 controller. While many bemoan its use of AA batteries, I think it’s the best idea since sliced bread for so many reasons. After cancelling my Luna subscription, I was wondering how to pair it to my Windows system … Read more
I really like the how Amazon let you add new channel subscriptions to the existing Prime Video library.

In this article I’ll show you how to build a short and efficient link without additional parameters, such as tracking information.
All we really need is the regional Amazon domain and the ASIN of the product and add these two together, separated by the letters “dp”.
